Chapter 388 - Chapter 388 - The Female Lead of the Cheating Scandal (Part 2)

Keira waved her hands excitedly, saying, "Because I believe in America, the land of freedom and fairness! We truly love each other, and we shouldn't be kept apart just because of the interference of some hidden hand!"

The audience below erupted in commotion. They felt that what she said seemed to make some sense. They couldn't compete with Laila through other means; after all, she had money and power, and she controlled Roy's fate. If they exposed this matter, more people would know about it, and they could use the power of the masses to exert pressure.

This made all the audience members think: This woman is clever! She even understands the power of the people.

O'Reilly intentionally asked a sharp question, well aware that Keira's words were contradictory and couldn't bear scrutiny. She was only trying to deceive the simple-minded audience, but those in the entertainment industry had already seen through her intentions.

But what did it matter? He wanted high ratings, and he wanted to embarrass the Moran family. It didn't matter whether the story was true or not; all that mattered was having a sensational story. Even if the truth came out, the unlucky one would be Keira, with no relation to him.

With this in mind, he directly exposed the question that would make the audience doubt Keira during the program and, in a pre-show exchange, handed over his questions to her to address the obvious flaws.

From Keira's answers earlier, he understood that she had grasped his intentions and executed them well.

She had now placed herself in the position of a sympathetic victim, arousing the sympathy of the audience to achieve her goals.

"You're such a brave woman!" O'Reilly pretended to be moved and nodded. "I think you're doing great! America is a country of freedom and fairness, and of course, we won't stand by and watch evil forces reach out to us. You dare to reveal the truth, and I believe the audience will be very willing to help and support you!"

"Yes." "That's right." The "plants" arranged in the audience immediately clapped and cheered.

However, the real audience, although they were finally clapping, wasn't fooled. They knew that the situation wasn't clear, and they couldn't simply confront Laila Moran like Keira was suggesting. They might express some support for her online, but doing more for her would be difficult.

In the global context, Roy might have more fame, but in the United States, especially in Hollywood, Laila was the one with more influence. Especially in Hollywood, if she wanted to blacklist an actor, it would be a simple matter.

The directors, actors, and crew members in her hands had already become treasures in the eyes of other film production companies. They often borrowed them to work on their movies. In this situation, would anyone dare to offend Laila for the sake of an actor? Even the Hollywood movie giants would likely agree to her simple request for blacklisting, just to secure future collaborations.

This was only her ability in the film industry. Outside of it, once she revealed herself as part of the Moran Media Group, many people would know what to do.

Keira couldn't possibly fathom the depths of these matters, and Faaris would never tell her about Laila's terrifying capabilities. Otherwise, even if she had the courage, she wouldn't dare to go against Laila.

"I received some information that after your affair was exposed, reporters went to interview Roy, but he denied that the man in those photos was him and also denied any relationship between you two. What do you think?" O'Reilly asked a pointed question, using the phrase "your affair" to implicitly confirm their relationship. This misled the viewers into assuming that Roy and Keira were indeed involved.

"I know he did that because he was worried about my safety," Keira choked back tears and suddenly covered her face. "I'm sorry, Roy. I really am sorry. I can't bear to see you suffer so much. I just want to be happy together with you!"

"Damn it! This lying woman! She's going to hell for this! She'll definitely go to hell!" Roy watched the woman on TV acting so shamelessly, feeling disgusted. He wanted to drag her out of the TV screen and give her a good beating.

Claire, sitting beside him and watching the TV, couldn't help but laugh with schadenfreude. "This is what you get for fooling around! With Laila, an angelic child like her, you dared to be promiscuous. Serves you right!"

Tears from a woman were always the most potent weapon, and the effect was remarkable. At least when the camera turned to the faces of some audience members, quite a few of them showed sympathetic expressions.

"Roy is a kind-hearted man. Everyone sees his handsome and sexy side, but they don't know how kind he is inside. During our time together, he always treated me with the utmost tenderness…"

Roy was dumbfounded by the stories she was coming up with. Even O'Reilly couldn't bear to listen to her anymore and interrupted her with more questions.

Come on, who's talking about kindness here? Who was the one who got into a fight and was taken to the police station? And who was the one flirting with the famous ladies' man Leonardo all over the place?

O'Reilly had figured out that this woman wasn't as clever as he had initially thought. She was merely a fame-stricken person who had been dazzled by her newfound celebrity status. If it weren't for the need to discredit the Moran family, he would have had her thrown out already.

"Keira, why are all the photos taken from the side or the back? Do you know that if they were taken from the front, he wouldn't be able to deny it no matter what?"

"In fact, I secretly took those photos," Keira put on a sad expression. "Roy wanted to protect me and didn't want our relationship to be exposed. That's why he never agreed to take pictures with me. He was afraid that if the photos fell into that woman's hands, it would be dangerous for me."

She wanted to take front-facing photos as well! If he had cooperated, would she be in this passive situation now? She couldn't help but think about how vigilant the man was. Even if he fell asleep under her massage, as soon as she tried to turn him over, he would wake up in the next second!
